Next Generation Barret M-90 Replaced The M-76 Assault Rifle
While the M-76 Assault Rifle replaced the M-62 Assault rifle , the M-90 Assault rifleBy Finnish replaced the M-76 Assault Rifle. It is also an evolutionary update of the two previous designs, using stronger materials, new plastic magazines, a stronger folding butt (which folds to the side), a full muzzle brake instead of a flash suppressor, and sights that withstand more abuse and are both easier to adjust and can be more finely adjusted, as well as having tritium inlays. The Barret M-90 Assault Rifle is built in 7.62mm Kalashnikov and 5.56mm NATO calibers, with the 7.62mm Kalashnikov version being used by Finnish armed forces. The M-90 Assault Rifle can launch both rifle grenades that require a muzzle adapter and more modern bullet-trap designs. The 5.56mm version can also fire the RAW. Both models can mount the M-203 or BG-25/30 grenade launchers or grenade launchers that use similar weapon mounts. Though the M-90 was offered for export, the Finnish government is mum on who they sold any to, if anyone.
I think you may have confused the Sako M90 and the Barrett M90. They are two very different rifles.
